I really appreciate all the preparation you did before the video so you could move through the different techniques fairly quickly while still explaining them all thoroughly and doing the demos. Love the way you combine some of the techniques or add to them, you gave me lots of ideas and inspiration. Thanks so much!
Gay, it is just wonderful to hear that you understand all the prep work that takes place to make the videos. I really appreciate that and I appreciate your kind remarks. Thanks so much for viewing, I am so blessed to have such a kind viewing audience!
Caterina, I haven't touched Mixed Media art since I was in Fine Art school. Your lessons are very inspiring, ART is so huge a subject, I keep turning over rocks, to find diamonds like you. Just by watching this lesson reminded me of my Sculpture teacher who also taught this mixed media class. Now I remember why Sculpture was my best subject, because in the same studio as sculpture, I felt like a child again just simply allowing myself to trust my intuition. In trusting this, my best work came to mind in the first instance. I believe along with Mixed Media opened the channels to paint and draw too with a heart filled with peace. Thanks for your lessons triggering my memory something important I lost. Today I am beginning again with the right tools and your lessons art essential daily reminders. Art flows when you are contented. 💕

Great techniques!
Thank you!
Very good tutorial.
Thank you so much! For taking the time to write a comment too! I so appreciate it! 😘
Found your videos recently and just love your techniques, papers, and colors. Question: what is Golden's glazing medium and how is it different from their gel medium? I use several of their products but I couldn’t distinguish between the two when you mentioned the glazing medium. Could you elaborate? Thanks. I’m a new subscriber and made a playlist just for your videos. 😘Thanks so much!
Janice Robinson Hi Janice! I am so happy you found our channel! Great question! Glazing medium is for mixing and thinning paint.. it allows a longer drying time and it can turn a paint into a glaze for finely shading. Gel Medium is used for adhering elements and it can create a great transfer. Thanks for being a new subbie! We so appreciate it! 😘
Thank you so much for answering my question. Now I understand. Keep up the beautiful work; it’s very elegant.😘xxx
Hello from South Africa! New subbie. Enjoyed the video, thank you. In Afrikaans (a South African language) we have the word SMEER which means, well, to smeer things in the page just as you did!!
Hello, my new subbed!! So happy to have your viewership!! I love that word and will incorporate it!! Thank you for taking the time to comment and making a subscription!!
curses!! auto correct.. Subbie, not subbed!! :-)
Autocorrect.... the bane of all good spellers! 😂😂
I am so glad i found you! What a wealth of information and inspiration! I love your style and trying new techniques! You mentioned in the video that you have shown how to make these beautiful butterflies you use in your work. Could you post a link to it please? Secondly, what do you use to make this blurred milky layer that unifies everything? I have white FW acrylic ink and white guache, will that work?
Hi Marion.. to view my videos click on my icon and it will take you to my TH-cam home page..at the top are tabs... click on videos and every video will be listed. The unifier is Satin Glazing Liquid with a touch of paint. I do not know if ink and gulch will mix.. but you can experiment.
Found this very helpful!
Linda Smiggen Thank you Linda, I am glad to know you enjoyed it! Thank you for letting me know... I so appreciate it! 😘
Caterina Giglio you’re welcome! I enjoy your older classes on TH-cam snd the new ones. 15-20 years ago we were doing altered books, etc and it’s fun to see newer and better processes and products and also the new enthusiasm. Could you tell me where I can get khadi paper. Amazon is out of it.
Thanks again for your videos!
